Far and away their best album!

"Unfortunately this album was ignored by radio, died a quick death, and wound up being the band's last release. But what an album it turned out to be! Every cut is outstanding. The melodies are catchy, Tim Rushlow's vocals are as good as they ever were, and most importantly, the production is excellent. The band added Jeff Huskins on fiddle and piano and brought in studio musicians Dan Dugmore and Sonny Garrish on steel guitar. Porter Howell's guitars shine on songs like "Loud and Proud," "Long Way Down," "Bad For Us," and "Living in a Bullseye." Those guitars provide a solid base on the tracks featuring Huskins on fiddle: "Ain't No Time to Be Afraid," "The Call," "Your Mama Won't Let Me," "If I Don't Get Enough of You," and "Yesterday's Gone Forever," the last of which features Dwayne O'Brien taking a nice turn on lead vocals. Huskins' fiddling gives those songs a sharp, distinct sound, and his piano playing holds up against that of the departed Brady Seals, as evidenced on "All in the Line of Love." It's a shame that this was his only album with the band.Maybe it's just as well that Little Texas called it quits after this album, because this is their magnum opus. On that hand, I don't know if they could have topped it, but on the other hand, who knew they could put together an album like this?5 / 5"

Too Bad Radio Didn't Play This Album More

"This is Little Texas best album as it was also their last album! Sadly it didn't get the attention that it deserved. Every song is worthy of radio play. Bad For Us was a single but radio didn't play it enough and therefore the sales didn't do so well. Sadly the Band disbanded and now are doing other things. I can only hope they get back together."

LITTLE TEXAS' BEST WORK EVER, BUT IGNORED BY RADIO!!!!

"In my opinion this is their best record, yet it had virtually no airplay. Every cut is just great. If you love country music then get this one. Powerfull ballads such as ALL IN THE LINE OF LOVE and BAD FOR US are all over this record as well as rockers such as LOUD AND PROUD and YOUR MAMA WON'T LET ME are also here. Listen to it and I'm sure you'll agree. END"
